Volcán Peleano: Debe su nombre a la Montaña Pelada (Montaigne Pelée), una cumbre volcánica de la isla antillana de la Martinica, se caracteriza por una erupción explosiva que arroja lavas muy viscosas acompañadas de nubes de gases que arrastran todo lo que encuentran a su paso. Estas nubes se denominan nubes ardientes y están formadas por una mezcla de gases, vapor de agua y cenizas. Estos volcanes también pueden formar grandes agujas de lava, que se desploman al solidificarse. Es famosa la erupción de la Montaña Pelada que tuvo lugar en 1902, durante la cual se llegó a formar una gran aguja de más de 300m, de altura, la cual destruyó su capital, San Pedro.

In order to study this video above, you should answer the following questions ...
* What are sediments? Where were sediments in the video studied?
* What is a layer or stratum (plural, strata)?
* Does sedimentation by a stream always happen on the same place?
* Are strata always horizontal? (look into your book on page 26, 27, ex3 on page 62)
* Explain the following statement: "lithification (or diagenesis) from sediments into sedimentary rocks consists of the compaction and cementation of grains"
* Describe the rock that was observed under the microscope. How does the film show the natural cementation of grains?
* Define "sedimentary rock".
* What other sediments, as well as mineral grains, can be found?
* Why coal is considered as a sedimentary rock? What is a carbon layer?
* After the formation of sedimentary rocks, the horizontal strata may be eroded or deformed. Find some pictures as examples.

Coastal Landforms . In the folder you'll find a document called "Coastal Landforms" through which you'll get access to these videos as well. Coastal Landforms IS THE BASIC DOCUMENT and it contains the video transcripts. Also in the folder you'll find some clarifying animations and a couple of documents with the topic in Spanish. To write your presentation you can use images from the videos or from my other documents or whatever you get from the Internet. The Coastal Landforms will be useful to get definitions for the various landforms in coastal landscapes. -By the way, GCSE stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education so some videos are related to English curriculum for students your age-
Desert Landscapes . Four documents with a video transcript, definitions in English and in Spanish and a set of commented images for your presentation
